| The Dead Don't you mean: Nancy and her ship of fools (while quite hairy) managed a standing ovulation?Yes, men & women alike. Reportedly, even Dubya stopped by on return from vacation--it was that time of the month, after all--to rip a mean air guitar ... | |
| Review: TRL Audio Mirror D1 Signature DA converter Will somebody please tell me what TRL stands for?In some circles, it stands for Total Request Live . But you probably want Tube Research Labs . | |
| The Dead Apparently, Nancy & Harry serenaded their respective houses with a karaoke version of "Ship of Fools". Standing ovation, the papers said. | |
| The Shape of the Watt / Puppy and Others What Tvad said...ditto in my book.Ozzy, exactly how much are you willing to spend? | |
| The Shape of the Watt / Puppy and Others I have heard the Sophia 2 but I still preferred the Watt/Puppy 8.Me, too...and me, too.Please post your impressions of anything you get to hear. | |
| What music is your system setup for? Every system is a compromise of one sort or another. You cannot play 18 holes with 3 clubs, run a restaurant with 3 knives, or hear every genre at its best with one audio system. I have experienced a number of systems that sound very good across a... | |
| The Shape of the Watt / Puppy and Others My New Years Resolution ...I will do my best to find someone, someplace, somewhere that I can demo the Von Schweikerts VR 4SR Mk2.Excellent plan. Also, would it be worthwhile for you to seek out a Wilson Sophia II for comparison? And if you don't ... | |
| What's better than Oritek X-2 I wish I could agree with the above respondents, but I really think that I'm the one who should do the listening for you, prior to you deciding which cables to buy. Sound good?Jokes aside, take this for what its worth:- Want speed & detail? IM... | |
| The Shape of the Watt / Puppy and Others Ozzy, what do you want that you don't have with the Legacy speakers? Are you really just looking for something that looks like a WP? You haven't said, do you like the WP sound? And which WP did you hear?To my ear, the VR4Sr and the Hyperion 938--h... | |
| Any PRIMUS fans out there? Matchstikman, they were here in Sacramento last month. It was a great show.Used to see them a lot in the early days...5-10 people in the audience on a Tuesday night in a Berkeley bar, covering Rick James & Rush, sometimes playing the first sid... | |
| Einstein The Tube users...help Audphile1, excuse me if my posts sounded argumentative. I didn't intend them to be. Mainly, I was concerned that Tboooe might give up on a stellar preamp before hearing it at its best, and admittedly, I've not resolved this issue in the manner you... | |
| Newfound respect for McIntosh Your comments and review mirror my experience with McIntosh. Glad you're enjoying the music so much! | |
| Einstein The Tube users...help As for my amps, they have 26db gain and an input impedance 22K0hm.From the PS Audio website:"No tube preamp should be asked to drive an input impedance of less than 30K..."Take it for what it's worth, but I've just gone through the same thing as y... | |
| Einstein The Tube users...help all is needed here is a preamp with fine volume stepsThe issue is one of overall gain, not fine adjustment. As Tboooe states:When I increase the volume knob just a tiny bit, the volume is VERY loud.An attenuator is a non-intrusive fix for the prob... | |
| Einstein The Tube users...help I would have to use fixed attenuators. Does this affect the sound quality at all?Anything you add to the chain will affect the sound to some degree. However, having recently been in the same predicament, I found that using the stop-gap attenuators... |
